Elgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful introductions to major fields in the social sciences, business and law, expertly written by the world’s leading scholars. Designed to be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject areas.

It provides detailed insights into the various dimensions and domains of urban segregation, the range of methods used for measuring segregation, and the effects it can have on neighbourhoods and individuals. Recognising variations in the patterns of segregation from country to country, the book further discusses the different approaches and challenges affecting policy interventions.
